Between these two, everything is swimming! Which is, after all, logical for a couple of top swimmers. And it’s a safe bet that, whatever their destination, Florent and Pernille will spend little time in the pools. They would feel like they were in the office! However, it is around a pond that their idyll was born, between two monotonous lengths. The younger brother of Laure Manaudou, who hardly goes unnoticed with his 2 meters for 100 kilos of muscle, is indeed Olympic champion in the 50 m freestyle, title won at the London Olympics in 2012, while his great Danish siren was a medalist in gold over the same distance, four years later, in Rio. The lovebirds have been together for more than two years, since they had chosen February 14, 2020, Valentine’s Day, to formalize their relationship, made more complicated by the health crisis, since the handsome 31-year-old lives in Antibes. , while Pernille lives much further north, in Copenhagen.
But as soon as he had the opportunity, the young man took action. At the end of September 2021, he made his marriage proposal to the lovely blonde who had also been waiting for this moment for a long time. These two athletes are now engaged, and could remain so for a while before being at the wedding, according to Florent’s words: “With Covid-19, a lot of weddings have been postponed. Whether we get married in two years or four years, I will just be engaged a little longer”, he declared, a philosopher. But no need to wear a wedding ring to go on vacation, and this summer the couple headed for the antipodes, offering themselves a romantic stay in Australia. And the duo took advantage of a stopover in Sydney to take tender shots that will delight their subscribers with the famous opera in the background, images embellished with a commentary from Pernille: “It was a gray day in Sydney. But even in the gray Sydney is an incredibly beautiful city, with both Harry Potter vibes and jungle vibes. I love it!” In short, for their happiness to be complete, all that remains is for Florent to jump into the water and say “yes” to his sweetheart’s life.
